About this ebook
A heartbreaking, enduring and masterfully told story set in the battlefields of the First World War from the international number one bestselling author Lesley Pearse
War threatens to take all she has loved and lived for . . .
On the outbreak of war, Belle Reilly's husband Jimmy enlists and heads for the deadly trenches of northern France. But Belle knows she cannot stand idly by when so many are sacrificing their lives.
Volunteering to help battlefield wounded, Belle is posted to France as a Red Cross ambulance driver. There, a tragic accident brings her face to face with Etienne - a man from her past she's never quite forgotten.

I read Belle first and was hooked, so bought the promise, i was hooked on this at first but it ended up becoming so depressing with everyone she loves apart from mog dying, i carried on reading knowing there would probably be a happy ending and she finally finds some happiness and it ends! I was disappointed to say the least.

Follow on from Belle that really told the rest of the story , not just ramblings to fill another book. I didn't want it to end either
